8/10
Not the greatest but definitely not the worst

I felt like I just saw the two movies. I loved the classic Indiana Jones movie, with action and humour and romance with Marion (welcome back Karen Allen!). I loved how Indy and Mutt interacted with each other, both before and after they discovered they were father and son. (And I laughed at the Russian soldier who had had ENOUGH of hearing of how Mutt came to be). I loved how Indy grinned like a little boy when he saw Marion again, and how she just glowed after hearing Indy couldn't find another woman who was her.

The other movie, with the Red Menace and the aliens - I didn't care for that.

I was glad that they tipped their hat to Marcus Brody and his deceased portrayer, Denholm Elliott. I didn't like that they also killed off Henry Jones Senior - Sean Connery might have changed his mind for a 5th movie! But that was at the time they revealed he had passed. After seeing all of the movie, I appreciate what they did - Indy was feeling lost and alone after losing these two men. By the end of the movie, he'd regained his friend Ox, and he'd gained a new family with Marion and Mutt. I loved the line about Grandpa Jones laughing in Heaven.
